@POETSorg Some folks have called this poem 'sick' but I think that's unfair to sick people. We can call anodyne supremacy culture what it is: fascinated with its own reflection in the blood on the slaughterhouse floor. Whose blood? Who could say! Not the poet. x.com/rashaabdulhadi…
@willathewisp @SoniaSulaiman @omarsakrpoet @POETSorg As a profoundly sick & disabled Palestinian, I'm wary of naturalizing such a blithe, breezy feelsgood-to-feelsbad centering of settler feelings in the midst of genocide. I encourage us to call navel-gazing white supremacy what it is. 🙏🏼🪨

@NatHopkinson Axios -What we're watching: Another Leonsis lament, noisy street buskers, are also included in the terms. Monumental proposes creating an 'Entertainment District' around the arena with rules against vending, loitering, and noise axios.com/local/washingt…

Hi, book friends. I found the list of publishers distributed by Small Press Distribution (SPD) as of the end of January 2024 on the Wayback Machine. I created a spreadsheet with links I could find quickly. It's a work in progress but I hope this is of use. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
Last night's event at @UChicago was incredible. My mentor and comrade @cathyjcohen has taught me so much. It was an honor to share the stage with her. The pride on her face brings tears to my eyes. This book is for her and every Black woman who taught me. #Blackwomentaughtus

Drop a pic of you that could be an album cover.
I have friends with more robust CVs than some tenured professors who haven’t gotten jobs yet, and we graduated at the same time. I have friends with similar or better CVs who are dealing with open hostility and covert racism just to exist in a space. They do so much
Do you know how damn hard you have to work, how much hostility you have to endure to get a faculty position anywhere as a Black person? The least these institutions could do is stop pretending that we somehow sneaked into positions. Believe me we’ve been vetted from every angle.
